People who were once interested in Cingular cellular plans will now need to turn their attention to AT&T plans instead. It's still basically the same cell phone provider in the United States, but the rebranding process is basically complete. Expect many plans to come with free or deeply-discounted phones as well. They are a highly recommended all-purpose carrier well-suited for most cell phone customers.
As always, the following information is subject to change and all plans may not be available in all areas of the United States. Always double-check with AT&T before activating your contract.
Cingular Cellular Plans for Individuals
Many of the most familiar Cingular cellular plans made the transition to AT&T. The following cellular plans are for individuals and covers just one line. With all plans, you never pay domestic long distance or roaming charges, and most come with unlimited night/weekend minutes. Be sure to check AT&T's website to make sure your favorite plan is available in your area.

| Nation Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | $69.99 |
In addition in the Nation plans, AT&T also offers cellular plans that include minutes for calling to Canada. This does not include calling from Canada, however, as roaming charges are on top.
